Set Up a New Crypto Wallet
The simplest way to set up a new crypto wallet is by creating a Coinbase Smart Wallet, a self-custody wallet directly linked to your device. This wallet removes the need to memorize and store a recovery phrase. Instead, your passkey is securely stored on your device.
Key features include:
- Biometric Authentication: For quick and secure access.
- Cloud Backup: Optional recovery through iCloud or Google Cloud for added safety.
- Standalone Operation: No need for third-party wallet extensions to sign transactions.
To set up your Coinbase Smart Wallet:
- Visit the Coinbase Smart Wallet page
- Click "Create a Smart Wallet".
- Follow the on-screen instructions, which may include setting up a PIN or biometric verification based on your device's operating system.
- That’s it! Your wallet is ready for use.
